I'm pretty sure they can. The ICO file format knows transparency, as do GIFs and PNGs, in case those are used (can be done via meta tags / CSS). Here's my 10 seconds worth of firing up the GIMP: favicon.zip

So I'll have to find 18 other people just because I want to giv rep to David for both his avatars and the favicon and to Edi for both his FAQ and Bug shortlist? sucks. Or does giving negative rep count towards that, too?

I can confirm this. I have done this for our county's web site.

Yep, they can. I have a tool to convert png's to ico with transparency and for a long time, my favicon was semi-transparent. Here they are

the 'favicon' is supposed to be a .ico file? I didn't know this,.. should I make a 16x16 ico file? I can, I use IconWorks Pro. I just thought the favicon was a .gif and made my version .gif.

If someone knows if It needs to be an .ico file, please post here, thanks.

Cheers!

attached a zip with the .ico version.. with the transparency set.

newfavicon.zip

Yeah I just threw it into a free .ico online generator and then put it up. I still hadn't seen the change on my browser, but I take it the transparency didn't get generated. I'll check out the new file you uploaded DG.

Here's an online tool that I used a few times

png size doesn't really matter, but I figure 256x256 is the max.

You could also use the favicon on the home page of the site. It looks better than the Window$ logo IMHO

First off I love the renovations.

I was wondering if the quote icons beside the sub-forms could be made more visiable in regards to the red and green used to show if there are new posts, even a red/green ball like the Forum marker is, would be fine.

Or maybe I'm going colour blind!!!

Thanks in advance, Bob out

Uhm, did you notice that I already uploaded an ico file with transparency on the last page? Just saying...
